Future Lighting Solutions Releases Paper on Optimizing LED-Based Recessed Downlights
The paper describes the rapid developments of LUXEON LEDs, simpleLED light engines & NXP drivers.
A new white paper providing guidelines for developing high-performance solid state downlights is now available from Future Lighting Solutions. The paper, titled “Enabling LED-Based Recessed Downlight Applications,” describes the considerations and components for implementing LED-based downlight fixtures that meet market needs as well as ENERGY STAR requirements, including light output, efficacy and longevity benchmarks.
Topics covered in the paper include component selection, how to determine the corrected drive parameters, and the role of optical, thermal and power solutions in producing reliable solid state downlighting.
Examples provided utilize Philips Lumileds LUXEON Rebel LEDs, NXP dimmable IC drivers, and Future Lighting Solutions simpleLED light engines that accelerate time to market by providing LEDs, secondary optics and onboard connectors already mounted on circuit boards.
The simpleLED off-the-shelf assemblies also include UL recognition that eliminates the need for a full in-system LED component investigation to obtain UL Listed status for new luminaires.
The paper provides a road map for implementing a Future-developed 4” and 6” reference design for recessed downlight systems.
The attention to downlight applications reflects the fact that downlighting accounts for up to one-fourth of the lighting energy used. LED-based downlights reduce energy consumption by 45% to 80% over conventional luminaires. They also significantly reduce bulb replacements costs because they have longer hours of operation compared to traditional light sources, provide a green RoHS-compliant, and enable far more flexible designs because of their
small form factor.

Epistar Places Multi-Tool Order for Veeco MOCVD Systems
Veeco Instruments Inc., announced today that Epistar Corporation, headquartered in Taiwan, placed a multi-tool order for Veeco’s TurboDisc(R) K465i(TM) gallium nitride (GaN) Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD) Systems for high volume light emitting diode (LED) production.
Dr. M.J. Jou, President of Epistar, commented, “Since we qualified Veeco’s tools for production back in May, we have been extremely satisfied with their performance. Given the systems’ ease-of-use and low cost of ownership, we now plan to include Veeco as an important supplier to Epistar.”
Bill Miller, Ph.D., Executive Vice President, Compound Semiconductor and head of Veeco’s MOCVD Operations commented, “We are excited to continue to establish this strong relationship with Epistar in 2010, and pleased to support their current and future MOCVD requirements.”
With superior wavelength uniformity and excellent run-to-run repeatability, the production-proven K465i extends Veeco’s lead in capital efficiency - the number of good wafers per day for each capital dollar - for high volume LED manufacturers. The K465i provides ease-of-tuning for fast process optimization on wafer sizes up to 8 inches and fast tool recovery time after maintenance.
